I carry a buck odyssey. every where, feel naked without it. it is a tool.
A working knife is a tool like a pen, my watch, it allows me to open things, mark lengths of wood to a very fine amount, a pencil leaves about a .040 line on wood, a sharp knive leaves about an .008 line. And yes that is enough difference to make it matter in what I do.
A sharp knife is a life saving tool as well, I have twice had to cut myself free from sinking boats. I have cut my hand free once from getting a piece of sheet steel snag it on a commercial exterior. (no other way to get my hand off, working all alone on installing new windows)
There are good knifes available today that mean the old slip joint folder is really obsolete. After seeing what an old but sharp Sod Buster did to my father in law after a billy goat started thrashing in the pen and some how managed to get the knife to snap closed on his kuckles, i will never use a slip joint again.
